Ok…so I thought seeing as I am laying in bed in agony because the bloody dog pulled me through stinging nettles why not update because I'm soo far ahead and besides that I have to revise for an exam tomorrow afternoon :( btw I don't know how much an Artist for the WWE earns or even if they have artists in the WWE so I guessed at it lol. There are two Matts in this chapter so I will use Matt Cardona's ring name…Zack Ryder...sorry not much happens in this chapter but it's all needed lool and Adam will be back properly in the next chapter.

Jades POV
I knew I should have stayed and worked things out with Adam, after all he was the first guy I had truly loved and I knew he did care about me but I just felt like I couldn't trust him and that's always been my problem…I can't trust people no matter how much I want to.

"Jade…I'm so glad you could make it on such short notice" Vince Mcmahon said looking up from his desk.

"I wouldn't have missed it for the world" Jade smiled.

"That's what I like to hear" He smiled. "Now, I'm not expecting you to audition as interviewer tonight but I would like to see some of your drawings" He said looking at Jade expectantly.

"Of course" Jade nodded unzipping her suitcase, she had gone to the arena straight from the airport so she still had everything with her. She had put her sketchpad on top of all of her clothes so she didn't need to rummage through everything to find it. She took it from the suitcase and walked back over to Vince's desk.

"Here you go" She smiled as she opened the first page.

"Wow" Vince said with his eyebrows raised, she had shown him the page with her drawing of Matthew Korklan (Evan Bourne) doing the shooting star press off of the top rope. "What we would like you to do is design and draw merchandise and posters for events and superstars…and when we are having a change of set I'd like for you to design the new set"

"Yeah sure" Jade beamed "Will I be working with someone or on my own?"

"You'll be working on your own because we just fired our only artist" He announced. "I'd like to see your interviewing skills during a house show on Wednesday"

"Yeah that's fine"

"What'll happen is you will work from Monday to Thursday and then have Friday to Sunday off" Vince explained.

"Yep sounds good"

"The company will pay for your flights to and from everywhere and all of the hotels you stay in but you will pay for the extra stuff" Vince smiled. "Obviously you will want to know how much you're getting paid…everyone in this company enjoys a good salary so this is what I'm offering" He smiled flicking through some pages that were spread across his desk. "I'm offering you $150,000 a year plus bonuses for things like designing things for pay per views and if I like your interviewing skills of course I'll up the amount I'm offering you"

"Thank you so much" Jade beamed.

"Because this is your first night I have arranged for one of the guys here to drive you to the hotel and help you check in…of course you will need to wait around for him to finish his match"

"Yeah…of course" Jade nodded with a smile.

"Good…now if you'll just follow me I'll take you to his dressing room" Vince said standing up and walking out of the room with Jade quickly closed her suitcase and followed him down the hallway to the dressing room. Vince knocked on the door and stood back waiting for them to answer. After a few minutes the door slowly opened and Matthew Korklan answered with just a towel wrapped around his waist, Jade couldn't help but gawk at his perfect body, it looked as if it had been chiselled out of stone.

"Hi" He smiled looking at Jade.

"Matt…this is Jade Allen…the girl I told you about"

"Yeah…I remember you saying…you wanted me to take her to the hotel right?" He asked.

"Yes" Vince nodded "I best go…I have to speak to Cena about his match" He said before walking away without waiting for either Matt or Jade to answer.

"Is he always that intimidating?" Jade asked awkwardly pointing towards where Vince had been standing.

"Yeah" Matt laughed stepping to the side for Jade to walk in. "I'm Matthew Korklan" He added holding out his hand for Jade to shake.

"Jade Allen" She answered shaking his hand and putting her suitcase against the wall.

"I have a match in about 20 minutes so you can either hang out here or watch it just down the hall with some of the other guys" He said rummaging through his bag for his wrestling attire.

"Ermm…Who would be down the hall?" She asked.

"I don't know…could be anyone" Matt shrugged taking his wrestling gear out of his bag.

"Uhhh…I'll stay here" Jade said awkwardly as she sat down. Matt walked into the toilet without saying a word, he returned a few moments later in wrestling attire and looked at Jade.

"Why don't you want to go down the hall?" He asked sitting down on the bench opposite her so he could do up his laces.

"Just don't" Jade shrugged.

"There has to be a reason"

"I've been a wrestling fan for a while and I don't want to make an idiot of myself"

"Don't worry about it…the guys here are cool…and I bet Zack Ryder is down there…he is always there when he isn't a match….and he's a good guy" Matt reassured Jade.

"Oh ermm…ok" Jade agreed still clearly unsure.

"Cool…I'll take you down there now" He said standing up and walking out with Jade following closely behind.

"Why are you limping?" Matt asked.

"I broke my leg and I haven't long had the cast off…it still aches when I walk" Jade explained with a sigh.

"If you want after my match I can get the doctor to take a look at it" Matt suggested.

"Ermm…no that's fine thanks"

"Ok but if it carries on aching you should probably get it checked out…and the doctor is always more than happy to check things out for anyone…not just the superstars" Matt explained with a grin.

"Ok thanks…I'll go if it carries on" Jade agreed as they came to a stop at a closed door.

"Good" Matt smiled as he knocked on the door and then opened it. "Hey Zack…I knew you'd be down here" Matt smiled.

"Hey man…what's up?"

"This is Jade" Matt said as he pointed back at her "I need to take her back to the hotel tonight after my match so is it alright if she stays in here to watch my match"

"Yeah sure" Zack replied moving so there was enough room on the sofa he was sitting on for Jade to sit down to. Jade smiled and sat down next to him as Matt walked out to get ready for his match.

"So…You Matt's girlfriend?" Zack asked.

"No…I'm the new Artist here and I might be doing a bit of interviewing….I only got here a few hours ago so Vince asked Matt if he would take me to the hotel when he's done with his match"

"So…you're single" Zack said hopefully with a smile.

"Yeah" Jade looked down at her feet "Just" She added nearly too quiet for Zack to here.

"Bad relationship?" He asked feeling guilty that he had brought up the subject, it was obvious it was painful for her to talk about.

"No…not really…we were actually only together for a few days but it was actually really good…we just had a bad break up" She shrugged still looking down at her feet.

"It sucks when that happens"

"Yep" Jade sighed.

"Anyway…have you always been a fan of wrestling?"

"Yeah...huge" Jade laughed.

"Why didn't you become a wrestler?" Zack asked.

"Hurt my back...I was actually going to be a football player" Jade smiled remembering what she called 'the glory days' "I played for an Academy and I was going to be signed to the under 21s team but I went for the medical and it turns out I'm not fit to play…my back just sometimes locks up and really hurts"

"Do you know why?"

"It started when I was 16 I went in for a tackle, just a normal standard tackle, nothing fancy for once and the girl was a lot bigger than me, she ran straight into me and I landed flat on my back with such a force that my back went into spasm and locked, anyway I went to the hospital and they told me I'd be fine, but a few months later I was still in a lot of pain when I did too much exercise and to add to it, my back was stiff and weak. I went back to the hospital and they told me I was fine but I had trouble playing a full match, anyway I went for the medical and they said that my back was too weak to play I had no choice but to stop playing because I would just be plagued with back injury and I would never be able to play a full match."

"Wow" Zack whispered in surprise "I take it you were good"

"Yeah…they told me I was going to be the best" Jade smiled.

"I feel bad for you"

"Don't…No one else does" She laughed "I just kind of dealt with it and got on with my life…no point in being hung up on it for the rest of my life if I can't change it"

"Yeah…that's the right attitude" Zack smiled playfully punching Jades arm gently "I would have been more than happy to train you"

"I would have liked that" Jade smiled at the thought of being trained as a wrestler.

"So I take it you will be travelling with us now"

"Yeah…I can't wait"

"Hey…Zack you're up in 10 minutes" A stage hand announced as they walked in.

"I better go…I have a match"

"Bye" Jade smiled as she watched him walk out of the room. She wasn't alone for long because Phil Brookes (CM Punk) came in.

"Hi" He said sitting next to Jade.

"Hi"

"Phil" He said holding out his hand.

"Jade" She answered shaking his hand.

"You a new Diva? They didn't say anyone new was coming" He shrugged.

"No…I'm an artist…and I might do some interviewing"

"Oh that's cool" Phil nodded "Do you want a drink?" He asked walking over a small fridge and getting out two Pepsi's.

"Yeah please" Jade smiled as Phil chucked her one.

"Hey…I'm done" Matt said walking in "Hi Phil" He smiled.

"Hey Matt"

"I'll see you around" Jade smiled as she waved goodbye to Phil and walked out with Matt following. They walked back down to Matt's dressing room in silence Jade felt so uncomfortable and out of place as she walked around and met people, she wasn't sure if this was the right place for her.

"What's wrong?" Matt asked as he shut the door behind him and rummaged through his bag for his clothes.

"Nothing"

"You're very secretive" He smiled.

"No" Jade mumbled looking at the floor and sitting down on the bench with her legs crossed.

"Then tell me what's wrong" Matt laughed sitting on the floor in front of her. Jade sighed in defeat and decided it was best to just tell him, she had a feeling he was the type of guy that just didn't leave off.

"I just don't think I fit in here"

"Everyone feels like that at first…you just have to find your friends and you'll do fine" Jade still looked unsure so Matt decided to use his own experiences as an example "When I first came to the WWE I felt so out of place and like I don't belong here…I considered leaving but I started talking to Zack and Phil…then it all just seemed to fall into place"

"I hope that happens for me"

"You already have me…so you're sorted" Matt laughed jumping up and running into the toilet to get changed. Jade still sat on the bench with her legs crossed and a smile spread across her face. "Come on let's get you to the hotel…you look beat"

"Yeah...How far away is the hotel?"

"Ten…maybe fifteen minutes" He shrugged packing his stuff.

"Good…cause I'm ridiculously tired" She said standing up and grabbing her suitcase but before she could start pulling it Matt had grabbed it.

"I'll take it" He smiled.

"Thanks" Jade mumbled in response. They got to Matt's car and he put the suitcase in the boot, Jade felt in her pocket and felt something, her phone. She pulled it out of her pocket and turned it on to find the text she had received from Adam earlier but hadn't opened. She sat in the passenger seat of the car and opened the text.

I think you made the right decision

Jade forced herself not to cry and looked straight out of the window hoping Matt hadn't noticed.

"So… tell me about you Jade" Matt said as he drove.

"Not much to tell…what do you want to know?"

"Your family…Any brothers and sisters?"

"I'm the youngest of six and out of the six there are only two girls" Jade laughed.

"Wow" Matt laughed "What are your siblings like?"

"Well…they're all really nice and look out for me because I'm the 'baby'" Jade rolled her eyes "My eldest brother Jason is the most protective…hates me having boyfriends and Chris is the second youngest and the one I get on with most out of the boys"

"Most brothers are really protective over little sisters though" Matt smiled "I know I would be if I had one"

"Yeah…I don't mind it really….it lets me know he cares"

"Fair enough" Matt nodded keeping his eyes on the road, it was silent for a moment before Matt spoke again. "So…you and Adam…" He started.

"Don't go there" Jade groaned trying to stop the tears.

"What's up? You're obviously upset about something"

"It's nothing really…I was stupid"

"Well…I know we only met a few hours ago but I'd be happy to listen"

"I love him" She whispered.

"Does he know?"

"No…Yeah…I don't know" Jade sighed shaking her head.

"I'm confused" Matt said parking the car.

"Well…we were together for a few days and then I don't know…this boy asked for his autograph and he started going back to how he used to be a few months ago"

"Have you spoken to him?" He asked getting their suitcases.

"Yeah…he said he was sorry but I just can't…bring myself to trust him"

"I get that….but Adams a good guy" Matt explained.

"I should check in" Jade said changing the subject as she pulled her suitcase inside.

Adams POV
I don't need her, I can get by perfectly on my own and in time I think I can forget her, I made a stupid mistake and if she can't forgive me for that then that's her loss. I do love her though.

Let me know what you think :)
